The Navajos were cunning and crafty thieves, having different ways to deceive the settlers. Part of the band would profess great friendship and would camp in town at the Tithing Office and have beef and other supplies given them. They would trade blankets for horses and flour while the remainder of the band camped out in the south hills in a secluded spot in the thick cedars, collecting livestock, killing beeves to eat and making raw-hide lasso ropes. They always planned a raid during moonlight nights. They would skin a small beef completely, leaving the horns, tail and hoofs on the hide. Coming to the homes on the edge of town during the night, they would lead away broke horses and drive away gentle stock.
One night some people were passing Samuel Jackson's corral and noticed stock lying on the edge of the road and thought nothing of it. The next morning however, Jackson's stock were missing, including a team of Oregon mares. Fresh moccasin tracks disclosed that some of the "cattle" were Indians in disguise. During the Indian troubles of the '60s, John Griffith moved from Adamsville to Greenville about six times. When his son, James L., was telling about it, he said it was not much trouble to move in pioneer days, because about all they had was a roll of bedding and a bake oven with very little to put in it.
INDIAN TRAILS
Cunningham Mathews, pioneer, homesteaded the Cunningham Mathews Ranch, about eighteen miles north-west of Beaver. He said there was an old Indian trail leading from Beaver Valley to his ranch and that the country around there was a favorite hunting ground for the Indians. The trail went past the ranch over the divide and down the Hot Spring Pass to lower Milford Valley. He also said an Indian trail went through Minersville
